I agree, boysboy.
The Patriots ooze success. They "get it." They work hard during the week, outstudy the opponents, are well coached and play as a team.
We appear to half *** it in practice, play as individuals and lack the basic fundamentals to win ball games.
Moss in New England? A leader. Moss here? A starring distraction.
And all this time...90% of us here were giving the Pats alot of flack for being classless cheaters, etc, etc.
Really-I'm not that kind of "because everyone else does it, it's OK for us to do it" kind of guy, but let's get real...to say the Pats were the only one that cheated and stole signals is a bunch of hogwash. Can you honestly say that Jimmy Johnson was a honest guy that always played it by the rules? It wouldn't have surprised me if he himself taped practices of his opponents. Ultimately-teams will do anything to get that competitive advantage...it's no different from playing chess.
With that being said-the Pats didn't have all this success under Belichick for nothing. Obviously-they're doing something RIGHT to get the right players and get them to buy into the system.
*sigh* sadly, we're not. Heck-Bradie James could probably be an emotional leader for the Pats.
